Abstract
October 16, 1846 is regarded as the birth of anaesthesia at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. However, was this really the first anaesthesia with sulphuric ether? In the priority dispute that started already in 1846 there were more participants: WTG Morton, CT Jackson and H Wells. Not involved was CW Long, who has already administered ether anaesthesia in 1842. He has published his results only 1849 and therefore he gained no glory.
